Orbit Sort

Features
Read full description

Rotate the rings. Sort every color home. Tap a ring to turn it and the colored balls ride along. Where two rings cross, a ball belongs to both, so one turn sets up the next. 5,000 levels, from a single ring to five overlapping rings. HOW IT WORKS • Tap a ring to rotate it. • Balls on a crossing point move with either ring. Use that to pass colors from one ring to another. • Fill every home socket with its matching color before you run out of moves. THINK AT YOUR OWN PACE • No timers. Take as long as you need. • Undo any move. Restart any level. • Out of moves? Retry, or watch an optional ad for +20 moves. • Stuck on one? Watch an optional ad to skip it. 5,000 LEVELS Start with one ring and learn in seconds. Add a second ring and things get interesting. By five rings, every move counts. 9 BALL SKINS TO COLLECT Common, rare and epic skins. Unlock them by reaching level milestones or by watching an ad. CALM BY DESIGN A dark, minimal look with nothing in the way of the puzzle. A short tutorial, then it's all you. Free to play, with a banner ad and optional rewarded ads. No in-app purchases.

About

Daily Orbit

Read full description

A quiet sky to settle every day. Daily Orbit is a one-puzzle-a-day game about bringing a small solar system into order. Everyone, everywhere gets the same orbit each day, seeded from the date. Planets sit on their rings around a central star, and gravity lines join the bodies. Drag a planet around its ring to move it. Any line that crosses another glows warm. Slide the planets until nothing crosses, and the system settles into a calm glow. There are no wrong moves. Take your time and slide until the lines come apart. THE DAILY RITUAL A fresh orbit lands each morning, and the week gently builds: Monday: Gentle Tuesday: Easy Wednesday: Breezy Thursday: Bright Friday: Keen Saturday: Rich Sunday: Deep HOW YOU SCORE Each day has a par time. A solve at or under par earns the on-par tier, and faster solves earn up to 5 stars: 5 stars: Celestial 4 stars: Radiant 3 stars: Aligned 2 stars: Settled 1 star: Adrift When you finish, you get a spoiler-free card you can share. It shows your stars, time, and streak, and never reveals the solution. KEEP YOUR STREAK Solve each day to grow your streak. Miss a day and a freeze token can quietly bridge the gap, and you earn more at milestones. Set an optional daily reminder so the next orbit never slips by. All of your stats live on your device. PLAY WITH THE WORLD Two Game Center leaderboards put your day in context: one for the day's fastest solve, one for the longest streak ever. There are milestone achievements to earn along the way. Game Center is entirely optional. The game works fully without it, and there is no account to create. FREE FOREVER, AND HONEST ABOUT IT The daily orbit is free, every day, with no ads and no catch. ORBIT PLUS (OPTIONAL) If you want more, Orbit+ is a one-time unlock for 4.99. It opens unlimited Practice orbits with selectable difficulty, from Warm-up to Steady to Tricky to Brutal, so you can play as much as you like at the level you choose. The daily puzzle always stays free. WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT It is calm, quick, and the same for everyone. One honest puzzle a day, a small moment of order, and a streak worth keeping. Slide the planets. Clear the sky. Come back tomorrow. PRIVACY, PLAINLY Your progress and stats stay on your device. There is no account to create, and no personal data is collected to play.
